Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC273 ~ Holidays!

Welcome to Mitosu Crafts. It's Jay here with the Paper Craft Crew challenge #PCC273. This Holidays themed challenge is running for 2 weeks, so if life is a bit hectic at the moment pre-Christmas, there's always next week to craft and join in the challenge

For my project this week, I took a few elements from the inspiration photo and I created this poinsettia card using the leaf dies from Orchid Builder Framelits

A6 cardbase

Basic Gray mat 14.3cm x 10cm

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper layer 13.8cm x 9.5cm

Basic Gray strip 13.8cm x 1cm

I stamped the twigs on Wood Textures DSP with Early Espresso ink, some in 2nd Generation (stamping off technique)

I wrapped Gold 1/8" Ribbon along the Basic Gray strip then along a stick to get the curls by using the Heat Tool

I used the Leaf Punch to get 2 Tranquil Tide and 3 Vellum leaves

To create the poinsettia, I stamped the leaves from the coordinating photopolymer stamp set, Climbing Orchid, with Cherry Cobbler ink on Real Red cardstock then die cut

I shaped each leaf using the side of the Paper Snips then used the 1" Circle Punch for the base

I applied Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the circle base then arranged the leaves to look like a poinsettia. I worked with the bigger leaves first, leaving a bit of space for the smaller ones in the middle

For a bit of sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the poinsettia and vellum leaves then added the large Gold Faceted Gem

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments in Tranquil Tide ink. Punched with the Classic Label then snipped the ends before adhering with Mini Stamping Dimensionals

Top 10 October Winners Blog Hop for Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights

Hi Everyone

Welcome to the Top 10 October Winners Blog Hop for Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Highlights

 You are currently at Mitosu Crafts with me Jay Soriano from the UK and I am very grateful to everyone that voted last month for my New Home Gift Box / Decor which enabled me to join the hop today

The theme is 'Changes' and keeping to my original project, I decided to create a card this time using products from the Seasonal Catalogue to show that they can be used all year round

I started with the shaving foam background panel using Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide. I then stamped the splatter design from Awesomely Artistic set at the bottom and sides of the panel with Tranquil Tide

I die cut the trees from Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies on Garden Green cardstock and used a dauber to highlight the edges with Whisper White Craft Ink. Whilst the ink was still wet, I added Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder on some areas and heat embossed

The house and small trees are from Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies and was die cut on Whisper White with Sahara Sand backing

I added Wood Textures DSP and Copper Trim before adhering with dimensionals. I also created a bow separately with the Copper Trim and Silver Ribbon

Finally, I used Brushwork Alphabet for the sentiment which was gold embossed on Vellum

Creative Circle Blog Hop ~ Haunted Halloween

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to the Creative Circle Blog Hop. It's Jay here from Mitosu Crafts and I am thrilled to become one of the newest member of the Creative Circle Design Team 

Stesha Bloodhart of Stampin' Hoot joins the team this month too. Stesha has always enjoyed crafting and was previously a hobby demo for 5 years. She rejoined Stampin' Up! under Mary Fish and started blogging in April this year to share her papercraft passion with others

The theme this month is Haunted Halloween and when Liz Holloway invited me to join the team, I already had a project in mind

It started off from a play date hosted by Sara Sayers of Crafty Little Minx. The challenge was to create a 3D project that can hold a test tube, great for table decoration for a Haunted Halloween party! For my project, I used the Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies and Sweet Home Photopolymer Stamp Set

I used Kraft card for the base of the house sponged with Craft White, Early Espresso and Wild Wasabi ink

The Wood Textures DSP for the roof were die cut, adhered together then punched with 3/4" punch to fit the Test Tube

The ghost and banner were stamped on Whisper White card with Archival Basic Black and the 'Trick or Treat' with Pumpkin Pie

I snipped into left over strips of Pear Pizzazz cardstock for the tall grasses

I used the Cat Punch on shrink plastic then coloured with permanent black marker. The tail was cut off before using the Heat Tool as previous ones curled and stick to the body

The Test Tube was decorated with Basic Black Baker's Twine and Silver Mini Sequins Trim behind the Whisper White moon sponged with Crumb Cake

Stampin' Up! products:

Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies

Sweet Home Photopolymer Stamp Set

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper

Cat Punch

Test Tubes
